Swap Time: Coats For Umbrellas

Temperatures should bounce between the 60s and 70s this week with plenty of clouds and some rain possible.

Rain could fall as early as this evening, said Steve Hodanish, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Melbourne.

This week could be a taste of what's ahead - forecasters are calling for a wetter and chillier than normal winter.

The reason: El Nino, an abnormal warming of sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. The phenomenon, which means ''little boy'' and was christened by Peruvian peasants five centuries ago, is altering weather all over the globe.

That means a greater likelihood of rain in Central Florida. It could make the next few months a little cooler than usual, too.

As for this past weekend, temperatures dropped as low as 34 in Daytona Beach and into the high 20s in Tallahassee and Jacksonville.

In Orlando, the low hit 38 early Sunday morning.

That's chilly, but nothing out of the ordinary. ''It's no big deal,'' Hodanish said.

Temperatures in Leesburg dropped to 35 degrees Saturday night. In Daytona Beach, thermometers at the airport registered 33 degrees, and National Weather Service experts speculated that temperatures in outlying areas could have dipped below freezing.
